Combustion has provided society with most of its energy needs for millennia, from igniting the fires of cave dwellers to propelling the rockets that traveled to the Moon. Even in the face of climate change and the increasing availability of alternative energy sources, fossil fuels will continue to be used for many decades. However, they will likely become more expensive, and pressure to minimize undesired combustion by-products (pollutants) will likely increase. The trends in the continued use of fossil fuels and likely use of alternative combustion fuels call for more rapid development of improved combustion systems. In January 2009, the Multi-Agency Coordinating Committee on Combustion Research (MACCCR) requested that the National Research Council (NRC) conduct a study of the structure and use of a cyberinfrastructure (CI) for combustion research.

The development of low-carbon energy is progressing too slowly to limit global warming. With power generation still dominated by coal and governments failing to increase investment in clean energy, the target of controlling the rise in global temperature is a tough task. This book is written so as to address some of the issues as well as waste management practices of fossil fuels and modified fossil fuels through ten original and very interesting chapters. Carbon sequestration of fossil fuels has been greatly emphasized so as to reduce the carbon footprint. The book starts with an overview of

The Encyclopedia of Petroleum Geoscience, published in the Springer’s celebrated Earth Science Encyclopedia Series, offers a comprehensive platform for topical articles on petroleum geology, geochemistry, geophysics, exploration and development, basin modeling, reservoir simulation, and unconventional hydrocarbon resources. With nearly 250 entry articles written by leading researchers and professionals, the Encyclopedia of Petroleum Geoscience provides a useful educational and reference tool and gives up-to-date overviews of petroleum geoscience. Given the significance of oil and gas resources in world economy and everyday life, and global standing of the petroleum industry in employment, university education, and research funding in geoscience disciplines, this volume will be of wider interest across academic as well as industrial readers. Published both in print and digitally, The Encyclopedia of Petroleum Geoscience can easily be used as a reference book and an overview of technical topics in a non-technical language understandable to educators and professionals.  Each entry article in the volume also lists main books and papers in the field for further reading.

Fossil hydrocarbons form a continuous series whose""heavy""members--heavy oils, bitumens, oil shale kerogens, and coal--are important sources of conventional lighter fuels. These hydrocarbons are much more abundant and easier to extract than natural gas and oil. This book discusses the origins and compositions of fossil hydrocarbons and shows how the""heavies""can be chemically transformed into environmentally clean gas, liquid transportation fuels, and an almost unlimited range of petrochemicals.Dr. Berkowitz explodes the entrenched dichotomy between""petroleum hydrocarbons""and coal that
